Snatan Sikhism - What Is It All About?

[sweetshera]

Hi guys

I was speaking to someone yesterday about sikhi and was told the real sikhism is this snatan sikhism?

Is this true?

NO! the so called Sanatan Sikhi is an extreme attempt to Hinduise Sikhi. While all religions are great, including Hinduism. But Sikhi is the teesar Panth. It is Nyara. Sanatan Sikhi has been made popular(more like infamous) by Niddar and his crew. These Sanatanist Sikhs try to include Hindu rituals and beliefs into the Sikh faith. They try to blur the religious boundaries between Sikhism and Hinduism to the extent where Sikhism is no longer discernible from the Hindu faith.

The heart of Sikhi is Satguru's grace. Everything else is secondary and really a ritual without it. If you listen to Gurmat parchar, then the basis of this parchar is to attach anyone to Satguru's grace and the parchar comes from Satguru's grace. The Kathavachak does not go outside of Satguru's grace. Nidar and his cronies don't follow Satguru's grace because they teach ideas that are not accepted by Satguru. There basis of so called shastar vidiya is taught on manmat ideas (on devis and devta). Satguru tells us before starting a task, do Ardas. This Ardas is to keep the person in Satguru's grace. When Nidar or any of his cornies start a task, they evoke the spirit of devis and devta. There teachings say that Satguru Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji Maharaj worshipped devis at certain points of bringing Hukams into practice. There whole basis of shastar vidiya is on the worship of devis.

No Nihang Singh ever disrespected Gurmat (DamDami Taksal) parchar, until the fake Nihang Singh came along, named Niddar. If going to such people makes you happy, then go for it and listen to the slander of Gurbani and Saints. If you want to stay in Gurmat and start tasks with Satguru's grace, then let such teachings of fake Nihangs go in one ear and out the other.

Before throwing trust on any organization, simply ask below question yourself:

1. Are they doing kirtan programs, Naam simran, amritvela, nitnem and so on?

2. Are they doing gurmat camps?

3 Are they arranging and participating samagams, katha programs and so on...

Above are the real stuff about Sikhism not the superficial stuff like tv program, classes and exhibitions etc. they are important in our community but they do not describe our dharma at all. Sikhism solid base foundation is guru jees gurbani and gurmantar (kirtan, Naam simran)...

So to me whether it's stone age sikhi or Sanatan sikhi, all is equal and comes under Sri Amal takht sahib. Do not waste your time figuring out which type of sikhi is traditional or pure. Start your jeevan with panth adopted rehat maryada of Sri akal takht sahib and later on you can always upgrade your efforts of reading more bani and put guru jees teaching in practical form.. (live ur life according to gurbani)
